Amherst gymnasts finish 2019 season at provincials

AMHERST, N.S. – The Aerials Gymnastic Club recently wrapped up their 2019 season at the provincial championships in Dartmouth at the Titans Gymnastics & Trampoline Club.

“I’m really proud of all of them. They did great,” said club coach Michelle Landry.

It was Kirsten Lawrence’s first year competing in the Open 8 Division.

“Kirsten held her own. She’s still working on getting a few more skills but she’ll be able to take the experience she gained this year and do really well next year,” said Lawrence.

First-year gymnasts Olivia Silvia and Sawyer Stiles had very a very productive season.
